a taste of fall

It's so close to fall I can almost taste it. Signs fall is right around the corner...

* The not-too-hot and not-too-cold daytime temps and the almost chilly nighttime temps. Sunday afternoon I sat in my bedroom reading a book, windows open, listening to the leaves rustle in the slight breeze. Seventy degree temps cooled the house enough that I kept my toes under the covers as I read.

* College football! The start of football season is always a sign fall is right around the corner. We jumped right in throwing our first college football party of the season!

* School is back in session. Fall used to be marked by my returning to work (teaching) after summer vacation. Now it's my oldest son starting school - preschool that marks the start of fall. That, and the fact that my hubby is taking his last (finally) class for his master's degree this fall.

We had a great long weekend and enjoyed some swimming, our family football party, church, and errand running. My hubby worked on planting the trees we bought for the backyard and I even helped with the mowing. A few nice walks around the block were enjoyed with the cooler weather. Nathan rode his bike while Levi kicked his legs with joy in the stroller.

It's going to be a wonderful fall if this weekend gives any insight of what is to come!

I love Jesus, my wonderful husband, my two little boys, and being a stay-at-home mom. My days are never dull, sometimes crazy, and although I try to keep things clean and organized, you may even find socks in my dishwasher.
